FANTASY FOOTBALL ARTICLES

Below lists out each quarterback who played at least eight games and their categories list the number of games in which they had at least the stated topic. The consistency rating comes from the number of times where they had either a 300 yard passing game and/or a two touchdown game, all divided by the number of games that they played.

The Column for "Either" shows how many times they had either a 300 yard passing game and/or a two touchdown game.

Quarterbacks usually only have one starter in most fantasy leagues so getting that position right - consistently - will pay major dividends. While almost any quarterback can have a big game, the critical characteristic is that your starter has no worse than a very solid game as often as possible. There were only nine quarterbacks in 2008 that were over the threshhold more often than not. What may surprise is that Aaron Rodgers fared as well as all but Drew Brees. He'll return for his second season in Green Bay with even more expectations. Another surprise is that Jay Cutler had such a solid year and yet was sent packing to Chicago where a consistently productive quarterback has really never been seen.

The rookie Matt Ryan fared very well for his first season as well. This year should provide at least six to eight highly consistent quarterbacks considering that Tom Brady is returning. Never overpay for your quarterback but do ensure you end up with a consistent player... consistently good that is.
